Anyway

I first heard this song a month or so ago. It's not explicitly Christian but I still think it gives us a lot to think about, particularly the chorus.

AnywayMartina McBride/Brad Warren/Brett Warren (BMI)
You can spend your whole life buildin'Somethin' from nothin'One storm can come and blow it all away Build it anyway
You can chase a dreamThat seems so out of reachAnd you know it might not ever come your wayDream it anyway
(Chorus)God is great, but sometimes life ain't goodWhen I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anywayI do it anyway
This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believeThat tomorrow will be better than todayBelieve it anywayYou can love someone with all your heartFor all the right reasonsAnd in a moment they can choose to walk awayLove 'em anyway
(Repeat Chorus)
You can pour your soul out singin'A song you believe inThat tomorrow they'll forget you ever sangSing it anywayYeah sing it anyway
I sing I dream I love anyway

Where it's at

People love love Christmas and rightly so. It is a time of year when we remember the birth of the saviour Jesus Christ.

However all too often we forget why Jesus was born. Jesus came into the world to show us how to live and then to die for our sins. Friday marked the day that Jesus was crucified, dying for our sins. Today marks the day he won final victory over Satan by rising again. Think how important this is. Without the resurrection, we would be walking around hopeless. The resurrection to me is the ultimate evidence of the truth of who He was and is. The most hardened skeptic cannot explain it away. The bottom line is that they can go back to His tomb and look all they want and they won't find his body. It is the ultimate proof Jesus was who He said He was and did what He said He would do.

Again, Christmas is great but Easter is "where it's at."
